Our New Adventure October 2012

Our new home;)
 
Well we have decided that we are going to be a camping family.  I am by NO means a blogger, or writer, or anything remotely close.  And I am now realizing I should have paid a little more attention to those professional development sessions on blogging.  Hopefully Donald will proofread and spice this up a little bit without making fun of me too much.  He wanted to name this blog "Lady and the Camper", which is so much more creative... but I just couldn't do it.  The purpose of our blog is to help us record our trips and pictures without constantly boring people on Facebook (but lets be honest I probably still will)! I have such a terrible memory that I really want to remember the details, the good and bad.
 
By getting the camper we decided to make a family investment and we are now going to be a camping family.  We purchase the pop-up camper from a sweet family in Hartselle that were very sad to see it go.  They have blessed us with so much information and goodies to get it started.  Hopefully we will get as much out of it as they did.  We absolutely adore the idea of being able to take the family to the outdoors to enjoy His Creation and have absolute quality time.  So we decided to go for it.  Of course how much we get to go is going to change over the years but we hope to create family memories that we will cherish forever.  The first challenge up ahead: getting Carter to sleep in this thing! 
 
This weekend we are going to go on a trial run before we really take it out.  Hopefully meet up with some good friends and enjoy the beautiful fall Alabama weather.
